I was concerned that all our WRs are the same size--about 6'2" and about 210-except for Johnson.  If you can't throw deep (time and arm) you need some YAC guys.  So we have Thielen, Mingo, XL, and TMJ all from the same basic mold.  He was not my first pick--I wanted the kid from Georgia.

having said that, in this image, he was hooked, preventing the back shoulder or quick out.  He will probably run outs, slants, digs (at times), and crossing routes.  He will not need to run the complete route tree right away.  I like Legette, but I did not understand the pick, frankly.

Yea none of our receivers fit our qb skill set and needed offensive scheme based on said qb and offensive line personnel besides Diontae, but they keep chasing this same big fast in a straight line but stiff and slow in the short area mold like Young is just going to be throwing play action deep bombs all game.  One day we will get a gm who understands the modern nfl, and draft some route running receivers who are explosive in the short area, but that time is not now.

Yea XL excels at the 50/50 balls he still has to learn how to be a complete receiver and hopefully he will with time. Youngs deep ball is the biggest question mark on our offense so far. Something I had hoped would have been worked on in the offseason but it still hasn't shown up and I'm not sure that it will. He can seemingly hit the corner/flag/deep out with consistency and a fair bit of distance but I don't think I've seen him complete a "go" ball or a fade like the 2 Dalton completed today in the red zone since he's been here and that is my.most concerning thing about Young. We don't have to rely on that aspect of his game to be a good offense but it HAS to at least be some sort of threat to the defense and so far it's still been non existent. Very concerning.

I mean he would have got flagged for holding, but I think was the case in multiple 1 on 1 today 

Maybe, I don't even understand what he was trying to do in the 2nd video though.   No separation and then he slightly cut inside and just stopped at the oob?  I believe it was probably supposed to be a fade to the corner and for some reason he just didn't do that.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
